The phrase “Kingdom of Heaven” occurs only in the Gospel of Matthew, where it is found thirty-one times. What does it mean? Here is a failure of the interpretation of the Word of God; most of the error and confusion around us springs from the false conception of the Kingdom of Heaven. It is...

This passage refers to the coming Gospel by which people become Christians. But most of God's people among Israel will not be in this category, being unbelievers in Christ. It's my understanding that God will not let the majority of Israel, His "people," perish. That would be a wasted 2500 years...

The Lord Jesus revealed two distinct lines of truth. In the first, He presented Himself as Israel’s Messiah and called upon that nation for their long-predicted national repentance, in which He also declared the character of His earthy kingdom rule (Millennium—NC), and Himself as the Fulfiller...

“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be...

Hi, and Amen! We don't need our own righteousness when we have the Lord Jesus' righteousness (1Co 1:30). God wants us to be imputed with His righteousness because ours is tainted with the sin nature--the old man.

It’s a very distracting thing, to walk without our own righteousness, but this tests our humility in the fact that we have “the old man,” and that we are willing to endure whatever it takes to be right with God, and have Him for our own. We know it is more than well worth of knowing sin and...

I wouldn't think they are true believers!

God chose to save mankind with salvation, which nobody else could do. He just knows it's going to be a "few" (Mat 7:13, 14) in comparison to the lost.

God chose mankind to salvation (Tit 2:11), but most of mankind will not chose salvation. All have limited free will, but not completely. We are free to chose God or not!

Amen!

Calvin was correct concerning eternal security, but wrong conceiving that God chose the sinner, for man must chose for himself whether or not he will love and obey God (multiple Scriptures supporting this, e.g. Deu 30:19); otherwise He would be "a respecter of persons" (prejudice), which is...

The Sovereignty of God “When God by His Spirit inclines one to receive the Savior, that one, in so doing, acts only in the consciousness of his own choice. It is obvious that to present a convincing argument to a person which leads that one to make a decision, does not partake of the nature of...

“Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor” (Gal 3:24, 25). It was a schoolmaster up to the time of the Lord Jesus; then faith came and Judaism ceased for a time. “The law is the strength...

“For the grace of God that brings salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus...

Salvation isn’t being saved from sinning, but from desiring to sin. When the “motions of sins . . . did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death” (Rom 7:5) we wanted it so; we desired to sin. But now with a new nature (Col 3:10), and God’s “work in you” (Phl 2:13), we never more will...

Thanks you too Brother!

Like and agree here, good insight I think! Yes, for whatever reason God chooses to use some more than others "according to His own purpose and grace" (2Ti 1:9). It's certain that His choice of person isn't according to one's goodness, as Paul was use to reveal many things that the other Apostles...

I don't think there will be any sadness, just not as much joy, if we're not where we could be in Christ when we depart. We know there will be different rewards according to what we did with what God gave us, but nevertheless joy everlasting in Christ! Some walk closer to the Lord than others...

This is similar to 1Co 3:15, where one could be void of a reward, yet saved.

I don't believe there are success or failure with Christians, but growth and no growth. Christians are already eternally saved, but we grow at different rates in Christ (Eph 4:15). Unbelievers only have failures.
